Yankees promote Carlos Carrasco to aid ravaged bullpen
Briefly

The Yankees are making changes in their bullpen after poor performances against the Dodgers led to position players pitching. Veteran Carlos Carrasco has been recalled from Triple-A Scranton after struggling in earlier appearances this season, which included a 5.91 ERA. His command issues have prevented him from being effective, but he brings experience that will hopefully stabilize the team as they aim for a better outcome in their last game against the Dodgers. The Yankees will also need to make a roster move to accommodate him as injuries impact their lineup.
Hopefully the Yankees can build something of a cushion tonight and rely on Carlos to give a couple of innings in relief in relative security.
His stuff was crushed once he was forced to bring pitches back towards the middle, indicating a loss of command.
A 5.91 ERA and 5.30 FIP could have spelled the end of his career in MLB, highlighting the difficulties he faced.
By being a veteran pitcher and willing to adjust your role, there's always going to be an open spot somewhere for you.
